Anyone going to the NewEngland Auto show tonight?

Mr. BMW · 12-04-2008, 08:58 AM

Tonight is two for one night. There should be a coupon in the Boston Globe.

I'm going on Saturday. Should be interesting to compare to the last show I was at -- the LA Auto Show two weeks ago. The LA show was HUGE. I think I was there for about 5 hours, and missed a lot of stuff, but my feet hurt, and I was ready to leave.

BMW had an owner's lounge with tables + seats. They served pretzels and soft drinks. You needed an insurance card referencing a BMW or a BMW key to get in.

I'll probably go tomorrow. Looks like it should be cool. I want to check out Lotus

That's how NY's was. HUGE. Boston's auto show sucks big time. It's small potatoes. Hell, it's small potatos.

Hows the parking there? any parking lots?
Near any T station?

I think parking was $10 or $12 last year.

If you prefer the T, take the Silver Line:
Directions to Boston Convention & Expo Center

The Boston show is much improved since it moved to the new Convention Center starting last year. I agree that the previous years at the Bayside Expo Center sucked. The new place is a lot bigger, nicer, easier to get to and the parking is a little cheaper at $10.

I didn't see one. There is a Corvette Cafe but it's pretty weak.

TheLegacy · 12-06-2008, 03:51 PM

Parking there is a nightmare though. I went last year and came back with a nasty door ding. It was taken out no prob but no thanks, still gotta fix my bumper :+(

I'll have my hands full at Tokyo Auto Salon in Jan... I'll be media for that

mroach · 12-08-2008, 06:49 AM

Yeah I didn't see an owner's lounge. BMW's spot was pretty small so I doubt they had any other areas. Nice M3 they had there though.
